Re: Humorous sign of the week

Using your legal firearm in self-defense is not an "immediate" breach of the peace because the peace has already been breached.
IANAL and this is not intended to be legal advice.
I stand corrected. I didn't realize that Texas law included the term "brandishing".

To the broader point on giving legal advice, IANAL, but if this sign had incorrectly stated the law, then would that have constituted giving legal advice? For example, would I be giving legal advice if I were to send a letter to a 30.06 posted business owner telling him that he is committing a felony by having that sign? And if I, as a non-lawyer was to do that, would I be breaking any laws? I believe the consensus from previous threads (where signs actually were incorrectly stating the law) is that this is not illegal.

Getting back to the point of this thread, I am just happy that we have yet another business owner who fully supports our 2A rights.

Re: Humorous sign of the week

So the owner is fine with concealed and open carry, and only has a problem with something called "brandishing"? Since this sign is in Texas, "brandishing" is a non-sensical word, kind of like if the sign said "spagretting" a weapon. I'm not sure what point they are trying to make, but it is a relief to see that they have no issues with legal carry.

It is a bit concerning that they are giving out incorrect legal advice, presumably without a law license. But based on other threads I have read here that is not illegal. Maybe I should send letters to all 30.06 posted businesses telling them that they are violating various laws (non-discrimination, etc.) by having their signs up?
